Message: [QUOTE="Sherman20, post: 5698694, member: 6357"] You can’t ignore the Final Fours and Sweet 16s. I’ll give you that. JB was a great coach, and was still a very good tactician and in game coach until almost the end. But he allowed his offensive and defensive systems to become incredibly stale and stagnant, allowed recruiting to atrophy, never replaced Hop with a big time recruiter after he left, stopped putting in the required work with recruiting, and then built his last teams around his son being the star, which was foolish. Daddy ball didn’t work. He’s responsible for the mess that the program is in—even if he helped build us into a power. Red was a foolish hire, but part of the reason we hired him was to give a shot to one of JB’s guys in order to ease him into retirement. [/QUOTE]
